I picked up some CFE 223 gonna give it a whirl....


Prob'ly about 26.0 gr with the 64 Nosler. Or the 65 Sierra. Or the 63 Sierra. (funny how that works)

Don't discount a peep, even if its only like a ghost...


10-4 Rost, and agreed.

Give her a whirl Okie, it's been a good powder in the 223/556, and really good in the 400 Whelen with 400 gr Woodleigh softs and solids.

All I know is that the 64BSB kills deer with aplomb. It's more than accurate enough for that job, through any rifle we've put it through.

Good to hear, bet it'd make a hell of a self defense bullet as well, I need to test em on some homemade media.
